Question

If P, Q and R are applying equal forces on box from different directions as shown in the figure, where will the box move ?

a. Horizontally left
b. Horizontally right
c. Vertically upwards
d. It will remain stationary
​

Answer 1

Answer:

c. Vertically upwards

Explanation:

Since all the forces are equal, force P and R balance each other since they are acted upon on the body in opposite directions, but there is no force acting downwards to balance the force Q. Hence, the box move vertically upwards.
